Abstracting/Indexing Services and Journal Lists

In today’s fast-paced business environment, even with an abundance of information, decision-making can be complex and slow. As floods of data emerge, effective information processing is sought as a panacea. Since we have lots of data, yet are starved for knowledge, the use of innovative techniques is sought as a cure. With the ever-present spectre of uncertainty, the need for a sound decision is the objective. As a consequence of these various conflicts and dilemmas, the employment of efficient data management, leading to better decision-making, is the goal.

Spanning from government to businesses to individual employees, from a huge global venture to regional and local projects, information and decision making have been encountered by every organisation and type of enterprise. It is a fact that governments and organisations have wasted millions of dollars every year due to using misleading information to arrive at incorrect decisions. These actions can lead to such negative outcomes as poor social programmes, corporate bankruptcies, and the like. It is therefore of paramount importance for modern corporations to employ effective information management and decision making processes at each critical stage of the organisation’s functions.

 Go Top  Objectives

The mission of IJIDS is to provide an international forum for practitioners and researchers both for-profit and nonprofit organisations, along with information technology professionals, software developers, and vendors, to exchange, share and present useful and innovative ideas and work. IJIDS emphasises the presentation and distribution of ground-breaking and original theories and concepts which can shape future directions of research. These, when applied, can enable policy makers, government officials, business managers, and different decision makers to spread over various advanced techniques and new applications of information technology. IJIDS also supports discussions on how information systems can promote decision making, and also in turn, how the advances brought about by these decision making practices can affect the growth in, and future application of, information technology. All models (normative, descriptive, cognitive, and prescriptive) are encouraged.

IJIDS presents a forum to help managers, planners, policy makers, researchers, educators, and professionals to exchange their innovative ideas and thought-provoking opinions.
